Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

After the two women finished reporting the intelligence, they were about to leave the room.

Suddenly, they heard a thud in the courtyard.

The three of them were instantly startled.

The two secret agent leaders in the room immediately drew their daggers and stood guard in front of the princess.

Then, they shouted towards the outside.

"Who is it!?"

At this moment, a low female voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, it's me."

Yun Yan and Yu Die exchanged glances, they were very familiar with this voice.

Wasn't this the secret agent [Rain Swallow] who was working undercover in the palace?

Hearing that it was one of their own, they were relieved.

The door was pushed open, and it was indeed the secret agent [Rain Swallow] who entered.

Princess Jinghua asked with some confusion.

"Aren't you in the imperial city? Why did you run out here?"

"Did something happen in the palace?"

[Rain Swallow] was a petite woman in black, her face obscured by her hair.

She took off a package from her body and handed it to the princess.

"Your Highness, please take a look at this first."

Princess Jinghua narrowed her eyes slightly.

[Rain Swallow] was a trusted secret agent she had sent to infiltrate the imperial city.

Used to gather intelligence on the Queen's faction.

What could be so important that she risked her life to bring back?

Princess Jinghua took the package, which was covered in dust and water stains.

The package was not light, and she could feel that it contained a wooden box that was not small.

Unwrapping the package, it was indeed a box made of sandalwood.

To prevent any traps in the wooden box.

Yu Die first had the princess step back, and she stepped forward and pushed open the sliding lid on top of the box.

When they saw what was inside.

The three people in the room besides [Rain Swallow] were immediately stunned.

Inside the wooden box was a square object wrapped in yellow silk brocade.

Seeing this shape, Princess Jinghua's heart almost skipped a beat.

Because she was no stranger to this object.

Unwrapping the yellow silk, sure enough, inside was the Great Liang's national jade seal.

When Princess Jinghua was young, she had indeed seen this jade seal many times on her father's desk.

Of course, she recognized it.

Princess Jinghua gently took out the jade seal and examined it carefully, her hands trembling.

It is also a symbol of the divine right of emperors of all ages.

It can be said that whoever obtains this jade seal has the legal basis to inherit the throne.

"Rain Swallow, how... how did you get this jade seal?"

Rain Swallow quickly bowed and replied.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I disguised myself as a palace maid in the palace and accidentally discovered this jade seal on the desk in Jianfu Palace."

"At that time, for some reason, the guards were not very strict."

"This humble servant felt that this object would be of great use to Your Highness, so I risked bringing it out."

Princess Jinghua sighed.

"Alas, you are too reckless."

"Once outsiders know that the jade seal is in my hands, it will surely bring us disaster."

Rain Swallow lowered her body even further.

"Your Highness, rest assured, no one knows about this matter except for the four of us in this room."

Princess Jinghua could only nod slightly.

"You are all my trusted aides, I believe you."

"This matter must be kept strictly secret, otherwise, our entire Princess Manor will die without a burial place."

The three of them bowed and accepted the order.

After dismissing the three subordinates.

Princess Jinghua held the jade seal in her hand and played with it.

At this moment, her mind was full of thoughts. Originally, she was just a spectator in the drama of the Great Liang's struggle for the throne.

But now, by chance, she had actually obtained the jade seal.

Whether this matter is a blessing or a curse is still unknown, she can only take it one step at a time.

And at the same time.

As the story of the Dragon骧 Army's great victory over the Tiele people at the Chishui River spread wider and wider.

Li Yuan and the Dragon骧 Marquis's reputation was also increasing day by day in the capital.

The day after the Dragon骧 messenger entered the capital to report the victory.

The Queen's faction, in the name of the emperor, issued an imperial decree, ordering the Dragon骧 Marquis to lead the Dragon骧 Army to the capital to report the victory.

After the imperial decree was issued.

The Second Prince and the Left Prime Minister were also discussing this matter in a secret room.

"Teacher, the Dragon骧 Marquis is heavily publicizing his great victory at the Chishui River."

"How should we respond to this matter?"

Left Prime Minister Cai Hongwen closed his eyes and thought carefully.

"The Dragon骧 Marquis was originally from the noble faction, and this time the Queen's faction is so active."

"It shows that the Dragon骧 Marquis is probably colluding with the Queen's faction."

But then, the corner of the Left Prime Minister's mouth revealed a slight upward curve.

"The Queen's faction probably wants to take advantage of the Dragon骧 Marquis's great victory at the Chishui River to accumulate fame for them."

"But this teacher believes that not only should we not stop them, but we should also vigorously publicize the news of the Liang army's great victory, and add fuel to the fire."

The Second Prince didn't understand, so he asked.

"Teacher, the Dragon骧 Marquis doesn't seem to be one of us no matter how you look at it."

"Why should we help them make a name for themselves?"

The Left Prime Minister narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"I have been dealing with the Tiele people for many years."

"How could the Tiele people be so easily defeated?"

"According to my speculation, the great victory claimed by the Dragon骧 Marquis this time is definitely just boasting."

"So we might as well, first hold the Dragon骧 Marquis and them up high."

"Then, when they enter the capital to report the victory, we will demand a strict examination of their military merits, they definitely won't be able to produce them."

"And then mobilize the civil officials to point out their false reports of merit one by one."

"Let the world see their hypocritical faces."

"The Queen's faction wants to use the Dragon骧 Marquis to make a name for themselves, I will completely destroy them."

After speaking, the Left Prime Minister took a sip of tea very proudly.

"This is the method of praise and kill."

The Second Prince also admired his teacher's layout.

"So that's how it is, wonderful."

Not to mention the Second Prince and the Left Prime Minister.

On the other side, in the Auxiliary General's Mansion, a group of nobles were also discussing this matter.

Although the Auxiliary General had brought in a messenger from the Dragon骧 Marquis to inquire about the battle.

The nobles didn't believe the story told by this messenger at all.

On this point, their judgment was exactly the same as the Left Prime Minister's.

However, since the Dragon骧 Marquis could send back a messenger.

At least one thing can be confirmed, that is, the Liang army did not lose this time.

Maybe there were some small victories.

But even so, it was a bit troublesome for the noble faction.

If the Dragon骧 Marquis gained the reputation of defeating the Tiele people, then the Auxiliary General would no longer be able to suppress the Dragon骧 Marquis in the future.

This was absolutely not allowed by the Auxiliary General.

This time, gathering the nobles was also to discuss how to deal with this matter.

The first to speak was [Marquis of Dongxin] Bao Kun.

"Auxiliary General, there is no need to worry about this matter."

"Even if she really accidentally won against the Tiele people once, it is not enough to shake the General's prestige."

"We can first win over the Dragon骧 Marquis, and that what's-his-name Li Yuan."

"If they don't appreciate our kindness, we also have ways to deal with them."

The Auxiliary General's eyes flickered.

"Marquis of Dongxin, what methods do you have? Speak quickly."

Bao Kun twirled his beard and said.

"The Dragon骧 messenger claimed that Li Yuan killed the Tiele commander Sangdu in battle."

"And even fought bravely against the Tiele Tiger Warrior."

"This matter is definitely unbelievable."

"But don't forget, General, in our Great Liang capital, there is still a real Tiele Tiger Warrior."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

The Auxiliary General laughed loudly.

"That's right, if they don't appreciate our kindness, we will instigate the Tiele envoys."

"Let that real Tiger Warrior meet this Li Yuan, the Colonel Li, who was praised by the Dragon骧 Marquis."

"Let's see if he really has the ability to kill the Tiele people's general."
